Janice will this work for stormy sky?

That is one creepy cover with the empty chairs. The sky does look threatening, so I'll approve it.

Yay!! We thought it was creepy too.

I need to get back to that series. I've read the first 3 books. Maybe I'll make that a priority for 2020.

Let Dom and I know if you plan on finishing them this year. We need to read the last two, Harvest Man and Lost and Gone Forever. We found spots for both books.

I'll make a note of that and can look at it a bit more closely when I start to plan my series.

For history - yay - prize winner in 2007 - any prize. Does the prize have to be listed on the main page? Thirteen Moons won the Southern Book Prize in 2007, but it's not listed.
I could also put a link to the Southern Book Prize page if you need to verify when I report. : ) Thanks.

It doesn't need to be on the main book page, but you should explain that in your report.

I don't think 222 is a combination of digits found in 212. You should remove it and add 21. (on the Yay task for Science.)

Thanks Cherie. Fixed.

For Science Nay task - stormy seas would any of these work?

(although technically its stormy lake)

Thanks!

They will all work, Lori.

Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world and equivalent to an inland sea. It's 1300 feet at it's deepest. So it definitely fits the task. So Terrible a Storm: A Tale of Fury on Lake Superior sounds like an interesting read.

Thanks Janice for approving my choices and for the info on Lake Superior. I had no idea it was that large. Anyway, I think that might be the book I go with for that task, have to see what I'm in the mood for when its time.

Funny, I don’t think I have the stormy seas task but I have that Lake Superior book on my list for something. I’ve had it on my TBR for a few years.

Cherie, I’m seeing a tread with you having books on your TBR for a few years.

Yes, Jannene. Too many books and too little time to read them. I will be retired some day though, and will have more time. The books will just have to bide their time. 📚

I really enjoyed So Terrible A Storm!

Janice, could I use Dark and Deepest Red for theme of dance? (Entertainment/Nay)

Katrisa wrote: "Janice, could I use Dark and Deepest Red for theme of dance? (Entertainment/Nay)"

Who says the theme must be happy dancing? LOL! Yes, go for it.

Lol! Horror dancing!

Yay I needed a book for this category too.

It's not scheduled to be released until Jan 14, 2020 in North America. Perhaps it will be released in the UK around the same time.

How are we validating? I take your word for it. :)

Hi Janice,
Would this book work for a stormy seas?


Thank you!

Ariane wrote: "Hi Janice,

Thank you!"

I would say that Obsidian would be more stormy skies. There's very little of the sea and it doesn't look all that wild.

L'Auberge de la Jamaïque would definitely be stormy seas.

ON sale today on Kindle The Fairbairn Girls is historical fiction set in Britain Card 13 6 Nay, Takes place in 19th Century Card 4 6 Nay, and has multiple women on cover Card 14 5 Yay (on bikes if that is a thing on some task I don't have...)

Does anyone know if The Alice Network is set enough in Britain to qualify for the Sport - Nay - Historical Fiction set in Britain?

*** Disregard, only the first bit and the last bit - not enough I would think. But, I can already think of a couple of other places that it will fit :)

4: Art/Literature:
Nay Task - The genre is classic literature and must have been written by a woman

Would The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer work for this task?

I don't think you need a ruling on this, Viji. Classic is listed as a main page genre, and Georgette Heyer is a woman. So, it's pretty obvious that it would fit.

Thanks, Janice. I once mixed up the genres literary and literary fiction and did not want to repeat the same here again. The MPG simply states 'Classics' and not 'classic literature' so I wanted to be sure if the books fits the task before I post it.

How about this one for stormy seas? There are big waves and wind hinted at I think..?

Yes, I'll accept it.

Yay! Thank you Janice!

Yes, I would say dance is a theme.

Hi - what do I need to do for you to verify when I post that I’ve read my Science yay task — The book is on your tbr as any combination of digits found in 212. It may be 1, 2, 12, 22, 122, 212, 222.

I’m getting ready to read the oldest book - #1! Thanks.

Nothing to do. Just state where the book is on your TBR and I'll take your word for it. :)

Thanks! 😉

Does a really big scary wave work for stormy seas?

Yes, and thanks! I own the book and have the task. LOL!

Hi Janice. Would this work for stormy seas on the cover?

Shirley wrote: "Hi Janice. Would this work for stormy seas on the cover?

Yes. It will work.

Thanks Janice. Almost all my slots are filled for Badge 3 now.
